  Well, I can't go to my dentist I use if I stick with Rob's rules.  1200
miles to Los Algodones, Mx. from Lyle, Washington.  But using my own
figures, I would only be about $6 dollars over on gas cost...   Of course,
it's been 106f down there this month already and going to the
dentist...that is no fun anyhow....What a shame.  I guess I have to wait
till next fall, when I am down there again to go see Dr. Mauricio....
  Now since it is not Friday...I am wondering what's been happening with my
van...The only glitch I have had in months is the headlight ground was
dirty causing a mystery act around the high beams, turn signals, wipers
switch.   After a query on the list here and some wire brush action and
adding a second ground direct from the lights to ground, they've been
working perfectly, as has most everything else in the van...It's about time
for something to break.....wonder what it will be?   I haven't had the 5sp
give any problems yet...
